I think often as Americans we are distanced from the long lasting consequences of war. How many people who will interact with this tweet have someone they know who has been to war? How many of you have had school delayed because of an unexploded ordinance that was being carefully

Removed? Have you been told that you cannot leave the path because a war 100 years ago left too many bombs that we dont know where they are and what will set them off? No? If you answered no, get out of the discussion about war. You don't know the harm you advocate for.

I'm not saying that we should never go to war. I understand sometimes we need to. But if you have not experienced anything of the effects of war, dont tell me where my father needs to go to either kill people or be killed. You are safe because of him and you want to recklessly

Use his life to justify your political agenda. You who wont go out and fight yourself. My father's life is not just a set of dog tags.
